SuperFly 5k

Choose your Charity or local PTA!

The SUPERFLY has been postponed until a TBD later date. Thanks for your interest.

The first ever isometric endurance course offered by Old Dominion Racing! The SuperFly 5k is a course that includes staging areas where participants will be judged on two isometric exercises (Burpees and Planks).

Participants will be required to run a 5k race. During the 5k there will be two stops where runners will stop and perform two isometric exercises. The runners will perform these exercises for as long as they can. ODR will measure the duration (not count of repetitions) for which each participant has performed. These durations and the length which it takes the runners to complete the 5k, minus the duration of time spent on the isometric exercises, will all be considered to identify the ranking of the participants.

All participants will receive a t-shirt, and there will be prizes and a raffle.

Packet pickup will be TBD from 8:30am until the race begins at 10:00am @ the race start in Lake Fairfax Park Pavilion K.
